 * Hi,
 * Thank you very much for this wonderful extension.
 * WebP is very nice, but for some images the webp file is bigger than the jpg file.
 * Is there an automatic way to get rid of unused webp files?
 * Sincerely,

 * The webp files will only be larger if you used “Force WebP” mode. But WebP conversion
   will almost always increase your disk space usage, because you now have 2 files
   for every image (WebP and the original JPG/PNG/GIF). That is unless you use something
   like our Easy IO service, which stores all the WebP copies on our servers instead.
 * Anyway, yes there is a way to clean up all the WebP images. Look under Tools-
   >EWWW Image Optimizer and you’ll find a WebP Cleanup option.

 * Hi,
 * “Force WebP” mode have not been used.
 * After re-optimizing webp images with the new version of EWWW IO (5.8.0) it seems
   that webp images are smaller than the jpgs.
 * Thanks,
